Overwatch's Halloween event for 2019 is up and running. New skins, intros, and map details have all been included in the event. Somewhat unsurprisingly, fans have already begun to edit intros in humorous ways. One devoted fan has mixed McCree's new intro with an already beloved gaming video, which has had hilarious results.

McCree is a cowboy with all the trimmings, he carries a revolver, he's a bounty hunter, and he's a great duelist. Overwatch, has a variety of characters, with their own sets of perks. The number of characters, weapons, and tactics have made Overwatch one of the most popular team-shooters ever. The new intro for McCree, in this Halloween event, shows him in an undertaker roll, putting someone in a coffin. At this point, the scene normally fades to black.

You're finally awake'. This trope has been around for some time but it is still sure to hit a funny bone for the unsuspecting viewer. The full video was posted on Reddit by ishtastic.  The Halloween event for Overwatch has new skins for all the playable characters as usual and there are some pretty interesting looks before fan edits.
